How to Do Blending and Shading with Acrylic | Portrait Painting on Paper by Debojyoti Boruah

Subscribe: th-cam.com/users/DebojyotiBor...
In this Acrylic Portrait painting I am focusing on blending and shading technique with acrylic color on paper. Blending is usually difficult with acrylics. But in this video I have elaborated my techniques of doing blending and shading using acrylic with water as the only medium. No retarder is used for this painting process.
I have started this painting with Burnt Umber and Cadmium Yellow Lemon for the initial layer.Then proceeding with multiple layers of paint slowly adding one by one. Acrylic paint usually dries very fast. To overcome this challenge I am using fine mist of water to keep the paint moist longer. I have applied many thin layers to achieve the desired effect of the skin tone. Most of the blending is done with dry brush technique with minimal water on the palette.

I cant get over the accuracy of your brush stokes, your'e a true artist so talented. Thanks for showing skin tones although even with the tutorial I know it will be a lot harder than it looks to get the right colours let alone such brush work. brilliant can't get over it.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I am glad that you liked my art videos🙏 I hope you'll love to watch some of my recent works too, where I explained the color mixing in a more detailed manner. Have a nice day 😊🎨

I tried painting a portrait the other day lmaooo, I think I wasted so much paint just trying to mix up the skin tones hahaha

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Thanks for your comment, and nice to know that you tried 😊 Try few more, it will work 👍🎨🖌️ Have a nice day 😊

[@baburavganpatravapte]

Don't worry I also wasted a lot of oil paint, then acrylic but in my last try I think I got the skin tone right. Red, yellow and white worked for me with little bit blue (just a tiny bit) for darker shades.

[@Nirinium]

I totally feel you here!

[@booknerdjebbi5037]

look at it like this. as long as you learned something, made something, or had fun, then it's not waste. even if your wallet says otherwise

You are amazing! I am in awe. I am so inspired to paint like you someday. I am new to acrylics and have been mostly sticking to tutorials but the other day I tried my first portrait… and it was amateur (and that’s me being nice hahaha). I’d love my paintings to look more realistic. That’s my goal! Do you think if I practice enough I could eventually get to this level or is it more of a “You just have to have natural talent” thing? I am so impressed, seriously.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Your practice will lead to your GOAL one day. You'll develop your style naturally over time. I think with practice will help you more than just having a natural talent. Just keep painting. All the best and believe in yourself 👍 You can definitely paint realistically one day.
I am also a self taught artist. I have learnt from trial and errors.
